    Hi Let's go ahead,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    If there is a SIM card slot on your laptop that indicates that model of laptop may or may not have a 4G LTE chip (cellular radio) on the motherboard.

    When purchasing a laptop that has SIM card capability, the Sim card slot will always exist, but to get that functionality is usually an extra option you must pay for when purchasing the laptop and the PC manufacturer then installs a 4G LTE chip on the motherboard.

    I do not see that chip in your screenshot of the network section of Device Manager, that would be labelled a WWAN device, I only see Bluetooth, WiFi and Ethernet listed.

    You will need to contact the laptop support on their website to check if you the 4G LTE chip is installed on your model and if not, if it is possible to fit that to the laptop.
